If you've ever handled bugs like scorpions or larger arthropods, they're remarkably similar to crawfish or crabs. They're virtually the same thing. There are aquatic and terrestrial arthropods which are literally the same type of 'bugs'. Whales and deer are not alike in the same way.

How many millions of years ago would we need to go back, to find the common ancestor?

Whales and deer are not alike in the same way.

Same question, I suppose. A longer span of time, or shorter?
